Looks like a flow chart, it reveals stuff Google has associated with your website.
Good for me! Google correctly knows me as a social media consultant!
Unfortunately, I can't even make out my own house. But it is in approximately the center of this photo. I've lived there in Mill Valley on Reed Street for almost 15 years so even if this was photographed 6 years ago, my house is still in there. My point is that I live in an area that is covered with trees and vegitation. This was a shock to my system when I moved from North Beach in SF shortly after the earthquake.
Google Local Business Listings now displays a 7 Pack.
The choices provided by Google used to be either 3 Googlemaps listings OR 10 Googlemaps listings.
The difference between what Google displays depends on if there is any competitors or not

In a GoogleMaps search for Top London Bagel- a place showed up, that piqued my interest called "BEIGEL" Open 24 Hours.
On a street called Brick Lane, en route to our ( small Group) tour of Londons amazingly restored Battersea Power Station we took a chance on this place Londoners,
will wait in a line, to be abused by rude and not-nice staff,
that could clearly benefit from a Seminar Session(s) or 3
on building Customer Relations Skills and
The Art of The Schmooze, to increase Ca$H Register Rings.
If I wanted abuse- I'd a gotten married long ago (with Kids too!)
Anyway- the bagel didn't have the proper firm outer shell with a supple soft interior.
Nor, were there different flavor offerings like -
Pumpernickel, Sesame Seed, Garlic, Onion, or
the infamous
"everything-Bagel" and- BTW it's spelled B A G E L my brother, not Beigel.
(The Yiddish word for Bagel is actually Beigel)

photo taken on google maps in New Orleans. The idea behind it is that in quarantine we can't go anywhere so we go to these places using google maps.

All true stories. I can't believe so many memories exist in one screen full of the map. I wish Google Maps had this kind of annotation.
Here's the live Google Maps URL I used to grab this image of Placentia, California.

This Google map satellite pic of a swastika-shaped building on a US Navy base in Coronado, California, has been making its rounds on the internet.
According to some sources, the building is part of the training facilities for Navy Seals, and is perhaps their barracks. It's nicknamed "The Seals Lair".
Apparently, the building was constructed with no intention of promoting the swastika symbol, so it was completely unintentional.
I note that for its time period, the design of the building was really optimal for a number of reasons. Buildings constructed during that time were designed to allow best access for rooms to light and air, since air conditioning was uncommon. I bet the architect was really pleased with this layout, since it made great use of the site plot, while maximizing each barrack wing's window exposure. Also, the design included some courtyard greenspace between each of the wings, which is also very good for aesthetics and psychological wellbeing.
But, should the happenstance of increasing popularity of satellite imagery be a strong enough reason to reshape the building so that it will no longer have the swastika profile, as some people seem to think should be done? I don't think so.
Note Bene: This image is Geotagged. See my article about how flickr has added geotagging features.
I also mentioned this photo on my blog posting on How to use Flickr for Image Search Optimization.
9/26/2007: CNN has just reported that the Navy has taken so much flack on this that they're going to change the building's offensive shape by adding landscaping and other structures to the tune of over $600,000! Must be the first time that online maps have forced a complete building redesign! Check out my blog posting on how Google Maps forced the Navy to redesign the swastika building.

9/11/2009: There's also a swastika-shaped building in Alabama, a nursing home, which the operators have attempted to change to remove the swastika shape, to little success so far.
This photo is of the building originally occupied by Hoffman’s Resaurant & Bar. See the next image, a postcard from the 1930s.
My thanks go out to a flickr member, Chris Nickey, for leading me to this contemporary photograph.

Dunham Massey Hall
The present hall was built in 1616 by Sir George Booth, who received one of the first baronetcies to be created by James I in 1611; it was remodelled by John Norris for his descendant, George, 2nd Earl of Warrington between 1732 and 1740; it was further altered by John Hope towards the end of the 18th century and again by Joseph Compton Hall between 1905 and 1908. The hall, stables, and the carriage house of Dunham Massey are all Grade I listed buildings, three of six such buildings in Trafford. The deer park is the only surviving medieval park in Trafford or the surrounding area.
Inglewood, California - I lived here through 5th grade. You'll find 25 little stories on this map, including the one-time home of Bruce Lee and events from the childhood of a little monster. When I lived here there were no zip codes: It was Inglewood 4, California. Area Code 213. Our phone number was PL4-xxxx (the PL stood for PLeasant).
